The Ohio State Journal. of Tuesday,
says:
The Springfield REPUBLIC says that in
its city there are one thousand men leading
single lives who ought by all means TO BE-
married. No doubt this is true; but the
social picture of the city will not be com
plete until the REPUBLIC gives Us also the
Lumber of the married people there who
ought to have remained single.
We will complete the picture at once.
There are no married people here who
ought to have remained single.

DESTRUCTION OF LINEN.

Washing destroys the linen much more
than wearing does. and the destruction of
linen in a house where the guests belong
almost entirely Ia the permanent class, or
bOarders, and the beds are not changed
Oftener than twice n week, is very much
less than where the changes are made aS
often as the rooms are vacated which in a
transient business may occur every day.
On an average The destruction of bed linen
amounts to about 20 per cent. per annum.
The loss on napkins amounts To about 80
or Az per cent, as many of them are stolen
or mysteriously disappear. The wear and
tear ON blankets-whiCh are supposed to he

they last long time. Shaking airing
and summing them presumably keeps them
clean and wears them little. Then they

Faint Prospects That Her Mind May
Shortly Be Improved.
A correspondent writing from Brus-
sells gives some interesting particulars
concerning the condition of health of
the unfortunate ex-Empress Carlotta of
Mexico, who became insane after the
execution of her husband, Macmillan.
She is at present confined at the Cha
teau de Bouchot. The correspondent saw
the ex-Empress when she was walking
in the gardens of the chateau. She was
accompanied by two ladies-in- waiting,
her page and two footmen. The ladies'
in-waiting, who belong to the Belgian
aristocracy, are some twelve in num-
Der. The ex-Empress, in her walk,
passed very near the correspondent,
and he was able to verify by actual
observation the reports as to the i'm
provement in her condition which have
been circulated during the past year.
He says that she is not changed much.
Her figure is slightly stouter, and she
walks in cold, impressive manner,
looking directly ahead, as if her atten-
ton was fixed on some distant object.
She walks with short steps and
without speaking She passed through
groups of the most exquisite flowers
without showing the slightest notice,
but as she returned to the house
her cold face took on look of pleasure
and satisfaction at the noisy welcome
given her by group of peacocks. She
looked at them for a long time and
then turned abruptly into the drawing
room, where one of the ladies-in-waiting
played for her an air from "Mignon."
She listened to this with pleasure, beat
ing time with her hand. She talks a
little with those about her of dress,
music and of the incidents of the day,
indicating a current of ideas altogether
foreign to her condition year ago.
She is now forty-seven years of age.
Her physicians are beginning to have
hopes that she will recover within
short time her full mental powers

RIDING ON TURTLES.
The Peculiar Pastime Enjoyed by the Peo-
pie of North Carolina.

PIE oI Mouth Carolina
At Smithfeld, N. c., monster green
turtles, weighing as much as fifteen
hundred pounds each, frequent the
beach all the way down to Fort Caswell,
four miles below the town. People eat
their eggs, but do not eat the turtles.
Beach parties of young folks 90 down
there, gathering beautiful shells, have
dances on the hard sand in the moon
light, roast oysters and have fun with
the turtles. When female turtle
wishes to lay her eggs she crawls up
the sandy beach to a place that suits
her fancy, digs with her fippers a big
hole in the sand, and then lays in the
hole two hundred or three hundred
eggs. The eggs are not dumped in a
pile, but laid out smoothly and neatly
in rows. When she commences laying
it makes no odds to her how large a
beach party stands around superintend-
ing the process. She attends strictly
to business, and even if the eggs are
taken from the hole as fast as she lays
them, it does not at all discourage or
brighten her. When she gets through
she scrapes the sand back into the hole,
whether the eggs are there or not, and
starts back to the water. That is the
time for the beach party to have fun
with her. AS many of them as can
mount her big dome-like back do so,
and she carries them down to the wa
ter's edge, where they jump off and she
goes on. She does not seem to mind
their weight or show any disposition tI
resent their good-natured familiarity.
Sometimes they turn her over on her
back, but after she has helplessly
paved the air u little while, they right
her again and she waddles off.--M T.

Cheapness of Clocks.

Clocks are not only useful but very
ornamental, and so very cheap, too.
A very pretty antique pressed brass
mantel clock american make), with
deep-toned cathedral gong of a far
away sound, can be had for ten dollars.
A good timc-keeper, nickel-plated, costs
but ninety cents. The prices have this
wide range, and selections can be made
from varied thousands of office clocks,
alarms, cuckoos, halls and striking or
silent recorders of the flight of precious
hours. Clocks that tell the state of the
weather, and are also calendars; clocks
that tinkle the half hours and chime
the full; clocks that work like watches
or swing the faithful pendulum, and, in
fact, clocks of all kinds, matching all
dispositions, are abundant and cheap,
and there seems to be no excuse for
even the occupant of an East-side flat
for not having one. These Yankee
clocks are appreciated abroad and be-
low, for the expectations to Europe,
Mexico and South America number a
thousand day.-N. Y. Times.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
Famous Physicians Funny Experience
With Newsboy


Concerning mistaken identity, DR..
Geo. +. Shrady relates the following Incl
dent, which occurred to him some wears
ago. The doctor has pleasant country
house on the Hudson. some seven or
eight miles north of Kingston, known
as "Pine Ridge" He formerly spent
his summers there, and being fond of
driving, he owned team of fleet-footed
sorrels. With these he would spin
over the hard country roads at a lively
gait almost daily, usually driving him
self. While thus driving on Albany
avenue, In Kingston, on his way home
one afternoon, being alone in the buggy
at the time, he was hailed by a news
boy, who, installing him for coach
man, shouted:
Say, John, can't you give a fellow
a lift?"
Glow far are you goingp" asked the
doctor.
"Only out to General Smiths" re-
piled the boy.
The urchin sprang to the seat beside
the driver and the conversation ran as
follows:
Whose rig is this?'
"Dr Shrady's."

boy, hastily inspecting the drivers

that. Major Cornell's coachman gets

"But the MAJOR is rich man and can
afford it," said the driver.
"How long have you been with the
doctor?"
''Ever since Twas boy"
"Never worked for any body else?"
"No."
"What do youdo for him?" continued
the interviewer.

from the boy:

"Why don't you?"

doctor.

road.-M Y. Tribune.

The Care of the Ear.

Under ordinary conditions the healthy
ear does not need to be protected from
cold; only during extreme cold or
stormy or rainy weather ought cotton
wool to be inserted into children's ears
especially. The same precaution must
be taken in the case of every ear pre-
disposed to inflammation. All persons
whose membranes are perforated ought
to protect their ears with cotton wool.
The entrance of cold fluids into any ear
must always be prevented; and 50, while
bathing or diving the ear ought to be
plugged. Patients with periorations of
the membrane should be very careful
in this respect, as violent inflammation
may be caused by the entrance of cold
water Medico- Chirurgical Journal.
